This portfolio provides the foundational technology—granted in the U.S. and Japan—to evolve ordinary vending machines into smart touchpoints that connect with passing app users.

When a user approaches a vending machine, the machine broadcasts a short-range wireless signal (e.g., a beacon) that the smartphone receives. Using consent-based user preferences—optionally enriched with weather and biometric data—the system recommends “the perfect drink for you right now” from the machine’s live inventory and enables instant purchase.

This is a strategic asset designed to create new customer experiences and incremental revenue opportunities.
- Capture Lost Sales: Proactively engage passersby who would otherwise walk past your machines.
- Deepen Engagement: Elevate loyalty apps into truly personalized, interactive services.
- Optimize Sell-Through: Drive sales and reduce waste with dynamic offers like time-sensitive discounts.
- Build New Revenue Streams: Enable cross-industry partnerships in wellness, insurance, and CPG.
- Secure an Edge: A foundational asset protected in the U.S. and Japan into the 2040s.
